AN EVENTUAL VOYAGE.
Death, Accident and Hardship on
the Barque Homer.

The barque George S. Homer, Capt. Perry,
of Falmouth, sailed from Montevideo for
New York, with hides and other merchan-
disc, about the first of October Soon after
leaving Montevideo, one of the seamen, a
young man belonging in New Bedford, who
was a great favorite of the captain, met
with fatal accident 1t appears that his
duties called him aloft, and he had been
there but few moments when one Of the
crew discovered him jammed between the
mast and one of the yards. Prompt assist
ance was rendered, but life was extinct, and
the poor fellow was lowered to the deck.
Capt. Perry had the body embalmed, and it
was placed under the forecastle, which was
the most convenient place, but the crew were
superstitious, and asked the captain to have
the body removed to some other locality.
Accordingly the body was placed under the
cabin, where it remained. Some time after
this happened, the vessel sprung aleak, when
within nine or ten days of Barbados. When
the barque arrived at Barbados, the crew had
worked at the pumps without intermission
for nine days, and were nearly exhausted.
Divers were employed to find the leak. Sew
eral attempts were made, and after great
difficulty the leak was discovered. She was
repaired and sailed Nov goth for New York.
Only day or two after the young man was
killed, the carpenter of the bark met with a
very painful accident, running an edge tool
that he was working with through one of his
hands.

He Was Struck with Death and Still
Recovered.

The Hon. Erastus Benedict, of Albany,
N. Y, says: About three years ago | was
kicked in the stomach by horse-Infamma-
tion of the bowels set in, and my urine was
scarcely anything but pure blood-Nothing
passed my bowels for fourteen days The
most celebrated surgeons said there was no
hope as modification was about to set in-l
had been delirious for the last thirty-six
hours-and they expected every hour would
be my last. Through the earnest desire OF
one of the members of our legislature, Mr..
Forsythe, they despatched to New York and
procured the services of DIR. Fritz, the great
natural healer-He simply placed his hand
over the region of the stomach with slight
manipulations over the abdominal cavity-I
felt easier at once-The fever soon abated-
My bowels moved the second day-My entire
recovery was rapid-and | can truly say that
was cured after being struck with death.
Many cures and reliefs nearly as remark
able as the above have been witnessed right
here in Portland during the past two weeks
where the same healer is now stopping at
the Falmouth Hotel-and has been daily
healing the sick at Congress Hall.
Mr.. A. w. Mayo, of Woodford's, says /
bave been troubled with an organic disease
of the heart for over two years-The first
time DR.. Fritz treated me by the laying on of
hands l felt relief and have been steadily
gaining ever since-I cheerfully bear testi-
mony to his truly remarkable powers-I live
here-My condition was well known and L
can be seen at any time.
The Doctor has many names of some of
the most prominent citizens on his books
who have given him permission to refer to
them in private way.
The Doctor can be consulted at the Fail
mouth uotol daily from a. to 8 p. IN.
Consultation and examinations are free.
